There’s a lot wong with this show
Jen arrives to see Emil Blonksy, the man who was forced to leave prison by Wong. Jen breaks the fourth wall to remind us that this is her show, not a “cameo of the week” affair.
Jen is given another task to overlook, which she nonchalantly laughs off. Remember Dennis from episode 1? Well, he’s back and wants to file a suit against his ex-girlfriend. He’s been defrauded by her and wants his money back.
Runa is a shapeshifting Light Elf from New Asgard. She has been taking on the form of Megan Thee Stallion and he was hoodwinked into believing it was really her. Jen doesn’t take it seriously and just laughs at him before walking away.
Dennis has spent a good deal of money on her too – $175,000 to be precise. With a good deal of product placement in the form of a Red Bull can on the table, the shapeshifting Light Elf actually shows up and takes the form of Dennis and immediately ousts herself. After downing the sugary drink of course.
Wong shows up at the prison and sees Jen, claiming that he needed to release Abomination, doing so against Emil’s wishes as he needed a worthy opponent as Sorcerer Supreme. He amusingly suggests whether to send him to the Mirror Dimension as punishment but instead, he’s tasked to appear before the parole board where his fate will be decided. ..
Wong begins his opening statement by praising the character witnesses for Emil, before turning to the jury and saying that they have all had a great time testifying.
Dennis ends up in court where the prosecution argues that Runa is a scam artist and Dennis had no idea he wasn’t dating Megan Thee Stallion. After all, if she’s a shapeshifter and he was unaware of it, then that constitutes as scamming, right?
The judge allows the trial to go ahead despite telling Dennis that he doesn’t know how the man could be fooled so easily. Considering hundreds of people were fooled by Runa showing up inside the Superhuman Law Firm, nonchalantly managing to walk in from the front door without arousing suspicions from security or any of the workers, I’d say it’s pretty easy.
Runa impersonates a judge and rushes up to the desk, banging the gavel and making a mockery of the courtroom.
Jen heads to the bar to drink and vent about her problems. She calls Dennis “terminally deluded” and this seems to work in Dennis’ favour, as Jen is brought in to give a scathing evaluation of how stupid and delusional he is. Anyway, Dennis wins and gets his $175,000. Runa is also put away for 60 days for impersonating a judge. ..
The parole board comes to an agreement and Emil Blonsky is able to go free. However, he has to wear an inhibitor and isn’t allowed to change over to the Abomination ever again.
That night, Jen was attacked by several men but they were easily defeated when she remembered to switch over to She-Hulk. As the men scamper away, Jen catches a glimpse of her transformed form in the car window and contemplates her next move.
The Episode Review
Although this episode is a slight improvement in terms of comedy, mostly because of Wong’s inclusion, the rest of this is still really poor. The male-hating continues, with a lot of jabs toward Dennis and some pretty scathing retorts toward us, the audience, for expecting cameos and superheroes! ..
Dennis’ shapeshifting light elf case is a disgrace. He’s delusional and the worst man alive, and only because he’s able to win his case because he was scammed by a shapeshifter.
This could have been a really thought-provoking case if we had something like that in this series. Remember the speech the senator gave at the start of X-Men about the dangers of mutants and their powers? Imagine if we had something like that in this series? But nope, instead we get Jen Walters hating the Hulk, men in general, and being a superhero.
I find the whole thing hypocritical because I hate women being objectified while objectifying Captain America, but I also love the idea of screensavers of his ass.
The biggest problem with “Supergirl” is that Jen Walters is so unlikable. She’s arrogant, has a victim mentality, and despises superheroes. She has no flaws, can solve everything, and can’t be stopped. But despite claiming she takes her job seriously, we get clownish scenes like the twerking during the post-credits that contradict this. I know that’s supposed to be funny but given we know that Jen is most passionate about her job, and wants to take it seriously, is this not a direct contradiction to her own values? ..
She-Hulk is a terrible comic book. It’s not particularly funny and the law scenes are weak. There are some who enjoy it, but She-Hulk needs to step it up quickly.
